Rai and Eutelsat Beam Euro 2016 in Ultra HD

Rai, Italy’s national public broadcaster, and Eutelsat are offering Italian TV homes coverage of seven games of the Euro 2016. The initiative with Eutelsat marks Rai’s most ambitious foray into Ultra HD that represents the next big leap forward in broadcasting.

Images of the matches are filmed by 14 Ultra HD cameras located by UEFA at the Vélodrome Stadium in Marseilles and sent to the International Broadcasting Centre (IBC) in Paris where they were forwarded to Eutelsat’s Paris-Rambouillet teleport.
